World War 2, Australia, Western Australia, Fremantle, Gage Roads, RMS Queen Mary, 1940
1940View of "Queen Mary" at Fremantle
During World War II, the harbour accommodated scores of Allied naval vessels on active service. Battleships, troop transports, hospital ships and support vessels, including many passenger ships, were seconded into the war effort. Visitors to Fremantle during the conflict included passenger liners and converted troop carriers RMS Queen Elizabeth and RMS Queen Mary. Because of their size neither was able to take up an inner harbour berth, and instead anchored in Gage Roads.
Major transport voyages for the Queen Mary to/from Fremantle included:
Fremantle to Middle East 9 - 23 September 1941
Fremantle to Port Tewfik, Egypt 7 - 22 November 1941
Suez to Fremantle via Massawa & Maldive Islands 24 January - 18 February 1943
